The family adventure film is being scripted by Jeff Lowell, whose credits include Hotel for Dogs and John Tucker Must Die, and who recently sold the spec Family Bond to Universal.

Matt Lopez (upcoming Escapet to Witch Mountain, Bedtime Stories) will be executive producer on the project, which for the moment is envisioned to take place in Tanzania and involve a mom, dad, boy and an older girl who get stranded in the wild and have to use their wits and cunning to make it out alive.
